Wiggling Worm Cufflinks by Tabitha Higgins

Wiggling Worm Cufflinks by Tabitha Higgins

Ask a question

$280

Tabitha Higgins designed these unorthodox cufflinks awhile ago, and when asked, she didn't quite recall her inspiration. As you probably all know, in most English speaking countries "@" is called "the at sign." So we asked ourselves what can we say about an "@?"

You'd be surprised!  Apparently an "@" is not always an "at."
  • Afrikaans - In South Africa, it is called aapstert, meaning "monkey's tail"
  • Danish - It is called snabel-a, meaning "elephant's trunk" or grisehale, meaning "pig's tail"
  • French - In France, it is sometimes called escargot, meaning "snail" or petit escargot, meaning "little snail"
  • Greek - In Greece, it is called papaki, meaning "little duck"
  • Hungarian - In Hungary, it is called a kukac, meaning "worm" or "maggot" . . . now that's just gross!
  • Polish - In Poland, it can be referred to as kotek, meaning "little cat" and ucho s'wini, meaning "pig's ear"
  • Thai - There is no official word for it in Thai, but it is often called ai tua yiukyiu, meaning "the wiggling worm-like character". 
Wiggling worm? We like that! Maybe the special man in your life will too?  

These substantial, hand-crafted enamel on sterling silver cufflinks come in five colours: yellow, orange, green, cobalt blue, and turquoise. Please select colour preference in order notes.
